Keep Cool In Coral

In my last blog post, I wrote about how blue was a major color trend for the Summer of 2009. Well, coral is also a hot color this Summer. Coral can vary in shades of orange, pink, and red. It is a great Summer color since it is reminiscent of the sunset and radiates a feeling of warmth. One hot look on the runways and in fashion magazines has been mixing coral with shades of blue (particularly turquoise and teal). This actually looks very good and is a great way to combine both of this season's trendy colors. Take a look at some of my cute coral finds below.

As I stated before, pairing coral with shades of blue is a very popular look this season. My recomendation would be denim, of course, since denim goes with almost anything. Since it's Summer, I would suggest pairing a coral top with denim shorts or a denim mini-skirt. You can also wear a coral top with jeans on a cooler day. A coral jacket would also be nice with a pair of jeans. Grab a pair of faux denim leggings to wear with a coral dress or coral tunic (a look that's going to be very much in style for the Fall). Wear a pair of coral shorts with a denim vest. A coral skirt would look great paired with a denim jacket. Coral accessories such as jewelry, shoes, handbags, etc. can also be matched with denim or other variants of blue like teal or turquoise. If you're really feeling brave, try matching coral with other shades of orange, pink, or red; such as peach, salmon, fuschia, etc. If you would like to see me write an article about any other trendy colors, e-mail me at Charmed42787@gmail.com or contact me on myspace.

My style is very eclectic. It basically changes everyday and the way I'm dressed is usually based on my mood. I'll be preppy one day, punk the next, then girly, occasionally gothic, etc.

I wear jeans most of the time and actually don't wear skirts or dresses all that often. I really like dresses/skirts though, I just don't find them all that comfortable.

I own pretty much every color you could imagine existed (and possibly even some that you didn't know existed). It's like a rainbow in my closet and my make-up bag.

I also love to wear a lot of jewelry and you will never see me without a fabulous pair of earrings. I also love to wear make-up and like playing with different colors of eyeshadow and nail polish. I love lip gloss as well.

There are days when I wear a lot of black too and I know what you mean about it being hot. It helps if you wear black in sleeveless or short-sleeved styles as apposed to long-sleeves or hoodies and sweaters. It also helps to wear black shorts and skirts instead of black pants or jeans. Maybe trying out different styles such as lighter weight fabrics or cutout designs would help too.

I hope my tips helped you. Maybe I should write a whole article about my own sense of style. :)

I'm sorry to hear your piercings are closing up. How do your ears feel when you wear clip-ons? I used to wear them before I got my ears pierced (this was about a decade ago, I feel so old!) and found them very uncomfortable. Sometimes even painful. I was never able to keep them on for more than an hour.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that my hair style changes everyday too (I have very long hair). I also own a lot of headbands and hair clips.
